About This Item
London : Michael Joseph, (1971). First British edition. Wolfe coined the term "radical chic" in an essay for "New York" magazine in June 1970. It had already struck a chord before the essay (in augmented form) appeared in book form on either side of the Atlantic - "Political extremism is all the rage in these days of radical chic - just as it was when the bored children of the middle class, reacting against their background, helped the radical leftists Mussolini and Hitler into dictatorial power", noted the Illustrated London News on 31st October 1970. Wolfe's second essay illuminates in similar vein the San Francisco poverty programmes - "the smell of singed snobbery, roasted radicals and charred chic ascends with blissful delight" (Alexander Walker in the Birmingham Daily Post, 23rd October 1971). Post 8vo (21cm). [vi],(154)pp. Original black boards, lettered in gilt; a couple of spots, but a very good copy in the Graham Rogers dust-jacket, also very good.
